So Catalcysm has hit and I have gotten Upy to 85 and been gearing him up over the last week or so. Once thing that I find very important for everyone is knowing what buff food and flasks are available and how to farm the mats, especially with high flask prices at the moment. Obviously it’s much better if you have levelled Cooking, Fishing and Alchemy for these but you can always farm mats and ask a guildy to craft/cook them.
Buff Foods
Raid Wide Food – Seafood Magnifique Feast – This is the level 85 Fish Feast you will need 4 x Highland Guppy , 4 x Lavascale Catfish , 4 x Fathom Eel (Update: Note that this is a Guild Reward for catching shed loads of fish so get to it)
Intellect - Severed Sagefish Head – You will need your fishing up to get these babies but you can find them throughout Twighlight Highlands. You’re looking for Deepsea Sagefish here: http://www.wowhead.com/item=53072
Spirit – Delicious Sagefish Tail – You will need your fishing up to get these babies but you can find them throughout Twighlight Highlands. You’re looking for Deepsea Sagefish here: http://www.wowhead.com/item=53072

In the Flask department, Blizzard actually helped us all by "adjusting" the mats on these flasks. Flower count is now 8 per (thanks be!)
